Transhumanist prophet Ray Kurzwell says we will ascend into being computers in a few years (though he also claims solar power will out-produce fossil fuels in a decade, so use caution when he is selling books) but some think it's the other way around, and that humans will instead be the ultimate supercomputers. Danish physicist Jacob Sherson, writing about his beliefs in Nature, said, "It may sound dramatic, but we are currently in a race with and steadily being overtaken in many areas. Features that used to be uniquely human are fully captured by contemporary algorithms.

Credit: CODER/AU At the interface between quantum physics and computer games, Sherson and his research group at Aarhus University have identified one of the abilities that still makes us unique compared to a computer's enormous processing power: our skill in approaching problems heuristically and solving them intuitively. Quantum physics holds the promise of Immense technological advances in areas ranging from computing to high-precision measurements. However, the problems that need to be solved to get there are so complex that even the most powerful supercomputers struggle with them, This is where the core idea behind CODER--combining the processing power of computers with human ingenuity -- becomes clear.

This is done using the online game "Quantum Moves." Over 10,000 people have played the game that allows everyone contribute to basic research in quantum physics. “The map we created gives us insight into the strategies formed by the human brain. We behave intuitively when we need to solve an unknown problem, whereas for a computer this is incomprehensible, A computer churns through enormous amounts of information, but we can choose not to do this by basing our decision on experience or intuition. It is these intuitive insights that we discovered by analyzing the Quantum Moves player solutions.” The laws of quantum physics dictate an upper speed limit for data manipulation, which in turn sets the ultimate limit to the processing power of quantum computers -- the Quantum Speed 77 Limit. Until now a computer algorithm has been used to identify this limit. It turns out that with human input researchers can find much better solutions than the algorithm. “The players solve a very complex problem by creating simple strategies. Where a computer goes through all available options, players automatically search for a solution that intuitively feels right. Through our analysis we found that there are common features in the players’ solutions, providing a glimpse into the shared intuition of humanity. If we can teach computers to recognise these good solutions, calculations will be much faster, In a sense we are downloading our common intuition to the computer" says Sherson. And it works. The group has shown that we can break the Quantum Speed Limit by combining the cerebral cortex and computer chips. This is the new powerful tool in the development of quantum computers and other quantum technologies.

Every week people around the world spend 3 billion hours playing games. Games are entering almost all areas of our daily life and have the potential to become an invaluable resource for science. ‘Who needs a supercomputer if we can access even a small fraction of this computing power? By turning science into games, anyone can do research in quantum physics. We have shown that games break down the barriers between quantum physicists and people of all backgrounds, providing phenomenal insights into state-of-the-art research, Our project combines the best of both worlds and helps challenge established paradigms in computational research,” explains Jacob Sherson. The difference between the machine and us, figuratively speaking, is that we intuitively reach for the needle in a haystack without knowing exactly where it is. We ‘guess’ based on experience and thereby skip a whole series of bad options.

With the problem underlying Quantum Moves we give the computer every Pie SCentoect chance to beat us. Yet, over and over again we see that players are more efficient than machines at solving the problem. While Hollywood blockbusters on artificial intelligence are starting to seem increasingly realistic, our results demonstrate that the comparison between man and machine still sometimes favors us. We are very far from computers with human-type cognition," says Sherson. ‘SWAG | Forum News Articles MORE ARTICLES + Fine-tuning For Intestinal Immune Cells + Plasma Physics’ Giant Leap + Altered Purine Metabolism Linked To Depression All Articles hip tworw scionce20.cominaws_artcesihumans_two_now_supercomputer-170396sao Humans: The New Supercompuler ABOUT News Releases From All Over The World, Right To You...
